Dry Hair With Oily Scalp

The beautiful exhibitions I have to think about Alexandra

Friday I visited the exhibition space at Alexandra Vogt Lungoscrostolo .
the beautiful setting and the same magic works. Bleached wood cabinets with doors instead of the back-lit images of Vogt. Lightbox steel "scattered" that show places on the floor outward ("the rough nature of the German") and inner artist. Horses as a permanent presence. But what I most admired is precisely the symbiosis between human and horse. The animals do not appear but seem to friends, playmates and adventures. But here we are certainly not the magical world of Disney. We are at a more stately where animal and man are simply beings that interact with each other without the filter of predefined roles. The horse seems ironic and indulgent part of the mise-Vogt, but go beyond the mere fiction to become a sincere expression of symbiotic complicity between the artist and his models. The installation of cabinets seems to emphasize this feeling. Perhaps the answers to the questions that arise are the images of Vogt's hidden inside closed cabinets and what we see out vividly illuminated only the illusion of having understood everything.
